Without a doubt he would stare with awe at the pictures found on these pages, but soon his interest would fall on other things. To you. the Wesleyan student, they are something more. With no other guide than mere printer ' s ink on wood-pulp, you will again be able to relive the days of a former year. For you they are building a bridge across time and space. A bridge that forever will connect the present to the past. A bridge that grows longer as the years go by and will serve as the main artery to the year of ' 49 on Wcsleyan ' s campus. For the Wcsleyan student this year book is that bridge. It becomes the means whereby our thoughts can return to our former college days and thus enable us to vision this earlier period. Because of its unique quality of bringing to light the past that will slip into some remote corner of our minds, the value of this book will be ever increasing. Not merely because of age but through its ability to bring back memories that will become as bright as gold as they are polished by the passing years. Let us consider for a few moments what the past will mean to us. These days at Wesleyan constitute a single phase of our lives. Although the time spent in the college halls in reality will seem like days or months, these few months will be as precious and as vital as any period in our lives. Here knowledge was gained which has. even though we are not aware of it, made our lives richer and fuller. Here friends were made that remain close to us until each shall take his chamber in the silent halls of death . Since our lives arc lived in association with others, it is obvious that our memories of Wesleyan will be mainly of those we knew while there. It will be natural, as the years pass and we think of our former college days, to relive moments with college friends. Whether student or teacher, they are the ones, made in youth, that above all others will remain closest to us. These that we came to know will be without a doubt the most valuable possession we drew from the well of knowledge in Buckhannon, It is through these friends that we will meet others along life ' s road and through these that we will be helped over life ' s future winding paths. It is the purpose of this annual to help those who view these pages to live again the moments of these college years, to help recollect tlioughts of our college friends and the times we had with them, and to help bring to light the dreams of younger days so that life may become more meaningful. One never grows too old to dream. Surely it is one ot the richest privileges of our lives, and certainly it is a noble companionship — this that is made possible by black marks on white paper. page 3 f949 TftuftmufimaHtU On April 6, 1948. death took from the membership of the Board of Trustees of West Virginia Wesleyan college one of its most loyal and active members. Laman C. Shingleton. He was born November 12, 1883, at Hebron, West Virginia. After gradu- ating from Marshall College, he moved to Clarksburg in 1909 to enter busi- ness there and immediately identified himself with the First Methodist Church. He achieved outstanding success as a business man. At the time of his death and for many years prior thereto he served as general manager and trea- surer of Shingleton Brothers in Clarksburg, as president of the Monon Valley Company in Fairmont, as secretary and treasurer of the Valley Orchard Com- pany in Belington. and as president of the Community Savings and Loan Company in Clarksburg. Despite his many business duties he found time to devote his splendid abilities and sound judgment to numerous civic activities. He served as a mem- ber of the City Council of Clarksburg and of the Firemen ' s Civic Service Com- mission. He was a past president of the Clarksburg Rotary Club and for many years served as a member of the Board of Directors of these civic organizations- However, it was to his church and its affiliated organizations that he gave the largest measure of his devotion and service. No busy layman could have done more for it than he did. Shortly after joining the church he taught a young men ' s Bible class. In 191 7 he was elected superintendent of the Church school and served in that capacity for twenty-one consecutive years. He was a member of the Official Board and director of the budget of the Church for many years, the chairman of its pastoral relations committee, and its Lay Leader. He was a member of the Board of Education of the West Virginia An- nual Conference of The Methodist Church and of the Conference Committee on Entertainment. One of his strongest loves was for West Virginia Wesleyan College, of whose Board of Trustees and Executive Committee he was a member for many years. His sound advice and wise counsel was constantly sought in the adminis- tration of its affairs. It is with a deep sense of loss that we at Wesleyan pay tribute to a strong leader and devoted trustee. page ecUcAtcaa LAMAN C. SHINGLETON 1883 - 1948 page 7 ' ?t iA. AviA.

We. thy children, now adore thee : We. thy children, bow before thee; And pledge God. who watches o ' er thee. Thou shall fill the ample measure of His plan. — -Wallace B. Fleming page I i uttion page 12 page 1 3 Wc who love Wesleyan know that within her halls is to be found a friendly Christian en- vironment, and as wc leave, we carry with us many memories of classmates, friends, fine profes- sors, and Christian idealism. The future development of Wesleyan is dependent upon those who have studied and lived in her halls. It is upon those of us who have participated in her activities, played in her games, and studied in her classrooms and laboratories that the burden rests to prove th at the investment of time and money of the founding fathers was worthwhile. But, how can we prove this. ' By becoming contributors to the American heritage ourselves, by leading in our churches, schools, businesses — wherever we find ourselves in our life ' s work. We arc the products of Wesleyan just as truly as is the iron which comes from the foundry or the product which comes from the factory. In what way do we show the training of Wesleyan. ' By democratic ac- tion, alertness of mind and body, application of the wisdom of the philosophers we have studied, and especially in the demonstration of competent Christian culture in any circumstances in which wc find ourselves. The future of liberal arts colleges in America will ultimately be judged by its graduates. To graduates and undergraduates alike your Alma Mater challenges you to be true to the highest and finest in your own personal life, and to remember that your obligation to Alma Mater Wesleyan is not only one of continued support, but one of selecting members of the on- coming generation who will profit by the Wesleyan tradition and recommending that they be admitted to her halls in order that they may find the vision you have found. Wesleyan takes pride in her graduates and former students. May you always remember that service to your fellow men in the name of Christ is your Wesleyan heritage. page I 4 aci a cC a icMeUf It is traditional for the graduating student body president to grace a page of the MUR- MURMONTIS with sweet nothings about ye olde alma mater, the sorrow of parting, and the cruelty of being cast into the outer darkness of the cold world. There is a certain sadness in de- parting from the friends and the campus we have come to know so well, but I cannot help feel- ing less sad about the past than eager to get on with the future. I have the exciting notion that we graduates are going out into the world of swift-changing currents, a world of transition and opportunity for those of us who will dedicate ourselves to breasting the currents. The fleeting moment of change from student to alumnus is a fitting time to take due cogni- zance of the increased responsibilities we assume in our nation ' s affairs on accepting a college de- gree. I would recall for you the challenging statement and question you heard one of our chapel speakers make this past year, the next fifty years are yot rs. ' What are you going to do with them. ' That ' s a good question, isn ' t it ' And the thought that the next fifty years really arc ours is a little frightening, isn ' t it. ' Fifty years from now the state of the world will be largely what we have made it; no alibi will look valid in the eyes of our children — and. yes. our grand-children — if that future world isn ' t a better one than the one we ' re struggling around with now. As college graduates on whom the responsibilities of civic leadership rest most heavily, we cannot hide our heads in the sands of time seeking relief from our duties by shirking them. More, we ought not to delude ourselves with thinning all we need to have a better world is a few men of genius at the top to guide us into the paths of righteousness; we could wake up fifty years from now to find those paths were more mere wanderings in the woods of fruitless hopefulness. For you students wc leave behind us in these cloistered halls, wc bid you prepare well to follow us; for us graduates, the time is noic ' and we must be up and doing! page 15 f cdtcf Mct ;4dmmc t i Xc m page 1 6 West Virginia WeOeyan CoHeqe page 1 7 aoficCo tcc tee OFFICERS Clyde O.

Along with the back-breaking, seat-squirming tests during Freshman Week ( it lasted only 4 days ) went a reception for them in Agnes Howard Hall. Church on Sunday morning, and a picnic in the afternoon which found a good many upper- classmen in the food line. The annual freshman talent show came off on the evening of the 20th. What talent I What freshmen! The 21st brought the upperclassmen back in force for registration. To the amazement of a few their schedules as planned last spring were in accordance with the revised fall schedule. But the most difficult task was getting to that 8:00 class the next morning. After a grinding week, the Grand Opera House on the 27th treated the student body to a free movie, I Remember Mama. The next night Murphy ' s 5 £i 10 ended activities for the month by laying out the welcome mat with open house including refreshments. OCTOBER By the time the month began, the enrollment count at Wesleyan stood at 790. The Metho- dist Student Movement began the month ' s fes- tivities on the 1st when the members held their Hobo Party. The girls at Agnes Howard gave the boys a chance to get upstairs when open house was held on the 8th. Rooms probably were never again in order until another open house brought out the cleaning-up instinct. The 1 7th saw the beginning of Rush Week for the sororities. No better word than rush can de- scribe what happened. Dr. Donald Andrews, noted research chemist of John Hopkins Uni- versity, in assembly, Thursday, the 21st. cap- tured the attention of all with his excellent lec- ture on Atomic Energy and the Faith of a Scientist. On the 26th. the Westinghouse Company gave a very enlightening and enter- taining program entitled Planned Lighting for Better See-ability during the morning assembly and again that evening. The Benzene Ring sponsored it. To end the month was Homecoming which brings up the question, Why does testites al- ways come in connection with Homecoming? This is the time when all on the campus must be in shape for the alumni. Result: 10 pounds and 1 week ' s sleep lost by many. Founders Day (Thursday, the 28th) and Wesleyantics began the activities. Alice Ross was crowned Home- coming Queen on that evening. Mary Hadjis. Margaret Ann Cyphers, Louise Marshall, and Colleen Burke were attendants. Friday brought a repeat performance of Wesleyantics and Sat- urday was the big day. Parade in the morning (Alpha Sigma Phi Fraternity ' s float won 1st prize: Alpha Delta Pi Sorority ' s won the 2nd prize ) , barbecue at noon in the gym served by the faculty: football game in the afternoon (we beat Bethany ) . and the Student Union ' s Home- coming party that evening in the gym with Tommy Reed and his orchestra add up to a memorable Homecoming. NOVEMBER First thing everyone did this month was to recuperate from Homecoming, The Junior - Senior girls at the 49 S, Florida dorm shined up the place and held open house after the Morris Harvey game on Friday, the 5th, Tests were the main attraction the following week. The game on Armistice Day in Parkersburg against Marietta did not make preparing for the last ones easier. With nerves on edge, we learned the result of our hard labors when mid-semester grades came out on Friday, the 12th. Most grades were proportional to the work done. The next evening the Alpha Sigs held a Sadie Hawkins Day dance in the union. All the gang needed was corn likkcr and muskets to finish the hillbilly setting. The same day a group of W. A. A. members took off for a big time at page 60 Jackson ' s Mill. Thursday, the 18th. the Con- cert Art Society presented the first of a series of concerts to raise money for a music scholarship. Many were present to hear the fine program. On the 19th. the Freshman class did it again with the annual Turkey Trot dance. The follow- ing Monday evening saw the first of the Com- munity Concerts featuring the Columbus Boy Choir. It was an outstanding program for all lovers of choral music. The next day at 5:00 P.M. the Thanks- giving Recess began with everyone very thank- ful for a few days rest. When classes started again at 8:00 A.M. Monday, the 29th, rest was apparently what most Wesleyan students came back to get. Those who had the best vacation looked the worst this day. Ending the month on the 30th, Dr. Franz Polgar, hypnotist, amazed an audience that evening with his feats of hypnotism, mental telepathy, and memory abilities. DECEMBER December began warm as the entire fall had been. Someone must have mixed signals. The month ' s activities began with a mixer in the union on the 3rd. The next night the union provided a movie in the chapel as it had done once a week for some time and continued doing through the school year. The Alpha Delta Pi pledges held a tea for the Alpha Xi Delta and Alpha Gamma Delta pledges the following day. The W. A. A. held its annual Christmas party the next Tuesday. The Alpha Sigma Phi and Sigma Eta Delta Fraternities had Hell Week for their pledges from the 6th to the 10th. With the tinge of Christmas in the air becoming more pronounced, the Student Uni on Committee gave a Christmas party in the union on the 1 0th. Of course Santa Claus ( Dr. Scarborough ) showed up. The following Sunday the choir presented its annual Christmas program. The final week before Christmas was a big one. The Kris Kringle Kraft Klub of the Metho- dist Student Movement finished repairing toys for the needy. Wednesday night, the 15th, was the Johnny Long dance sponsored by the union. Despite high water from recent rains. .Johnny made it. and the gala affair went off as planned. The next night the Playshop produced its first major dramatic production, The Rock. ' Everyone was moved by the realism and stirring emotion of the play. At 5:00 P.M. the 17th, Wesleyan closed up for Christmas. All needed a rest. Thanksgiving and the last nineteen days were almost too much. JANUARY The 3rd at 8:00 A.M. meant the end of those glorious days of the Christmas and ( burp ) New Years vacation. Just three weeks remained be- fore finals to get the work of the entire semester completed. This usually meant all the semes- ter ' s work. However, the fellows in the Men ' s Housing Unit did hold open house on the 12th to prove to the world that they also could use a broom and dust cloth and make a bed. On Friday, the 14th, the Alpha Sig pledges proved to the actives that they could do things when they gave a dance for all actives and pledges in the union. The fellows of the Kappa Alpha Fraternity out did themselves that same evening when they held their Dixie Ball in their social rooms. Quite a sight to see Confederate Army uniforms and Southern Gentlemen ' s dress suits in Yankee territory. Comprehensive exams for the mid-year graduates were from the 10 - 15. No fatalities were reported. All lived through them. Everyone learned how fast three weeks can go when finals started on the 22nd. A whole week of misery. Deepest sympathy for the person with three finals in one day. At noon the 29th. all worries ended. Nothing more could be done, just wishes that more study had been done dur- ing the semester remained: and resolutions were made to work harder next semester. 20 degrees were conferred on Sunday afternoon, the 30th, in the first mid-year graduation exercises in the history of the college. FEBRUARY Not much winter yet. Plenty of rain. Mon- soon season here was from January to Decem- ber. 770 students were registered to date for the 2nd semester. Most students were already seeing their resolutions for more intensive study slip- (Continucd on page 62) page 61 ping. Plenty of time, the semester was young. First event for the month was Religious Empha- sis Week from the 8 - 1 1. Dr. Harold A. Bos- ley. Dean of Duke Divinity School, was the feature speaker. His sermons and informal meet- ings were uplifting for all. The M.S.M. mem- bers gave a Calendar party on the 11th for a Friday night of fellowship. The Alpha Xis remembered St. Valentine ' s Day by holding a dance in the union for all members on the 14th. On the 1 7th. Mrs. Doris Mason, noted sculp- tress, presented a demonstration in sculpturing during the 1 1 :00 assembly. It was amazing the way she could talk and do an expert clay model at the same time. The next night the Teltschik Brothers gave a two-piano concert in the chapel. This was the 2nd of the Community Concerts. Their playing was magnificent. The Concert Art Society presented the 2nd of its fine pro- grams for its music scholarship fund the 25th. The World Student Service Fund drive began the 24th with an auction in assembly of faculty contributions ( late permissions, dinners, tickets, etc.) which netted 167 dollars the first day. Most spectacular event of the drive was on the Tuesday and Thursday afternoons when Presi- dent Scarborough shined shoes for 50 cents. He raised over 20 dollars. MARCH Winter forgot to show up this season. Any- way, it was time for spring now. Miss Cornelia Stablcr ' s character sketches in assembly on Thursday, the 3rd. kept everyone ' s sides aching from laughing. No one could have slept through that program. The next evening the W.A.A, sponsored a party in the union for the W.S.S.F. drive. One could always count on that organi- zation to give a grand party. On Monday, the 7th, the 12th annual West Virginia Collegiate Conference Basketball Tournament began. Wes- leyan downed Shepherd that day but lost the next day to Fairmont, the team that went on to win the tournament. The following Sunday, the 13th. Don Bakely made a parachute jump at the local airport for the W.S.S.F. ' s benefit. The next evening the Clare Tree Major Chil- drens Theatre of New York presented in the chapel Little Women. All enjoyed the ex- cellent performance. The speech department be- gan the first round of debates on Tuesday, the 15th. The Phoenix Club livened the social at- mosphere when it gave its spring dance Friday, the 18th. for the student body in the Lions ' Den. The same day saw the end of the Sopho- more Tests. It was amazing how hard a seat could get in a short time. The next day the Alpha Gams held a banquet. The coming of Friday, the 25th, meant the coming of mid-semester grades again. My how time fiew. Hardly had time to realize that tests had started let alone study, but all resolved ( haw I haw I ) to buckle down for the remaining weeks. The Sigma Eta Delta Fraternity held its spring formal on Saturday, the 26th. It was the big affair for the fellows. On the 30th, the girls basketball teams held the playoff intramural game. After the game, varsity players dressed as girls and wearing boxing gloves showed the girls (all playing women ' s rules) that they could still beat them. Proceeds went to the W.S.S.F. which raised over 600 dollars in its drive. On Thursday, the last day of the month, an old time convention ( complete with brass band and confusion ) was held during the as- sembly hour for the nomination of Community Council and class officers. Bill Gwennap and Charles Hymes were contenders for Community Council President. APRIL On the first day. the Alpha Sigs started off the month with their spring formal held at the Stonewall Jackson Hotel in Clarksburg. This was the fraternity ' s big event of the year. The next night the Alpha Xis gave a dance in the union. Sunday was spent resting from dancing. On Monday night, the 4th, the Barter Theatre presented William Shakespeare ' s Hamlet. The troupe did a fine job thrilling everyone even if the lights would not stay on. After 2 weeks of a lively campaign, the balloting for Community Council and claSs officers took place at the con- clusion of assembly on the 7th, Bill Gwennap was elected to serve as President of the Com- munity Council for the coming year. That page 62 afternoon and the next were big ones for the seniors, Graduate Record Exams. Here was the chance for them to evaluate the benefit derived from the money they spent during their college years. Those who brought cushions to sit on were smart. On the 9th, the Alpha Delta Pi Sorority held its big formal dance. The follow- ing afternoon the choir gave a concert of Easter music in the chapel. The longed for Easter vacation began at 5:00 P.M. on Wednesday, the 14th. It was a long drag from Christmas to Easter vacation, and the recess was welcomed by all, faculty included. But the days were fewer for choir members who left Buckhannon Easter Sunday evening, the 1 7th. for a weeks tour. The 20th saw classes starting as usual at 8:00 A.M. For some reason, students never seemed quite as exhausted after Easter vacation as they did after others. May be they were too tired when it started to celebrate. Comprehensive exams began on the 25th for those graduating in May. One week of hard study and taut nerves lay ahead. That evening Helen Jepson. soprano, gave the last of the Community Concerts for the season. On the 29th. the Inter-Fraternity Sorority dance was held. It was a gala occasion for the 3 fraternities and 3 sororities. Seniors on finishing their com- prehensives discovered they were not nearly as bad as they had expected. Tri-Beta on the 30th. in connection with a Sub-Regional convention held open house at the science hall to open the new museum there. Movies were also shown in the chapel, and a reception was held in Agnes Howard Hall. MAY The last month of the college year. All heaved a sigh of joy except the great majority who wished for 2 months with no additional work to finish the work of the previous months. The K.A ' s started the month with a picnic on Sunday, the 1st. in the city park. The Buck- hannon Strawberry Festival preview was held the next night in the chapel. The big May Day program began Friday, the 6th. at noon with an all-campus picnic held in the football stadium. All classes were suspended for the afternoon. After everyone had finished eating and could move comfortably, a faculty - coed Softball game ( faculty wonj, races, and individual sports be- came the main attractions. That evening Mary Hadjis was crowned May Queen. Alice Ross, Margaret Ann Cyphers. Louise Marshall, and Colleen Burke were attendants. A program given by the girls of the physical education department followed. A dance came after this. The all- campus singing contest was held on Saturday evening. The Alpha Xi choral group won 1st prize. George Weigle was chosen as best director. The 12th saw the big spring semi-formal dance, featuring the music of Ray Anthony and his band. The W.A.A. girls got out in the rough on the 1 7th for a picnic. The following evening the K.A ' s held their spring formal at the Stonewall Jackson Hotel in Clarksburg. The boys had a gay old time. Recognition Day was during as- sembly on the 19th this year. Installation of Community Council officers for next year was combined with the other program. Next day the Junior and Senior girls had a dinner at the 49 South Florida dorm. The Alpha Gamma girls had a grand time at their spring formal the fol- lowing evening. On the same day. final exams began. The usual prevailed, too little work too late. More resolutions to do better next year were forthcoming. The Alpha Xis rejoicing over the end of finals held their rose formal dance on the 28th as their last event of the year. Commencement activities began on Sunday, the 29th. with Baccalauratc in the chapel at 11:00 A.M. A reception in the afternoon was given by President and Mrs. Scarborough which was followed in the evening by the annual music program in the chapel. The Alumni Din- ner held the next day at 5:30 P.M. in the dining hall in the gym preceded the annual commence- ment play. She Stoops to Conquer. The play was thoroughly enjoyed by all attending. On the 3 1st. the 59th Commencement, beginning at 10:00 A.M. with the academic procession in front of Agnes Howard Hall, was held in the chapel. 1 1 1 seniors were granted degrees, the largest number ever granted by the college at one time. The buffet luncheon given after commence- ment by the women of the College Club brought to a close the college year 1948-49. page 63 (MteC MtM pags 64 OctoSefi 2S-30, f94 page 65 ' Da tcc page 66 a«tce page 67 TH acf aA p WSSA ?: !  • page 68 y 1% 1fU f 6, J949 page (59 n UMti(m page 70 Mcuf, 31 t949 page 71 TH Da 7. f94S ' ■: !f ?r-r? mo; y n if ' N UlUlli page 72 ( A UX M% ifind n-22, f949 page 73 ' ' 7 ! S! 4 For its first major dramatic production of the year the speech department presented THE ROCK, by Mary Hamlin, a powerful drama of the life of Simon Peter and his gradual growth from a Gallilean fisherman to the leadership of the disciples of the Christ. Several weeks were used in selecting a cast capable of carrying the demanding roles of the play, the result being one of the best balanced casts that could have been assembled. Every part, from the lead to the shortest servant role, was played with sincerity and effectiveness. With the cast selected and in rehearsal the artistic genius of Alexander Villers, always the genial and willing Al , was called in to produce the most beautiful set of costumes seen on a Wesleyan stage in many a year. Later, scenery was remade and repainted, largely under his direction, to create a stage setting to match the costumes and acting. In order to insure a perfect production for the students the cast undertook two warm- up presentations, one sponsored by the Methodist Church at Burnsville. the other an invitation performance for guests from the churches served by the Wesleyan Group Min- istry.

SHE STOOPS TO CONQUER. And when dainty Margaret Ann Cyphers as Kate Hardcastle gave her curtain speech there was no doubt that she and her fellow players had Conquered their audience as effectively as she had Conquered the bashful lover hero. Gorgeously costumed in specially or- dered and carefully selected gowns and men ' s finery from W aas ' ii Son. costumers, of Phila- delphia, the production was as beautiful to behold as it was enlivening in plot and pre- sentation. Smart scenic and lighting effects produced by the magic of the Villers ' touch and the workmanship of Stan Elder gave effective backgrounds to the lively acting. A cast that had struggled through a whole spring of disheartening rehearsals and woeful forebodings outdid itself in distinction of characterization and style. The delightful, romantic leading roles, Margaret Ann Cy- phers as Kate Hardcastle and Fred Mulneix as the bashful lover Marlowe, were ably seconded by Phyllis Kohl and Raymond Moore as Constance Neville and George Hastings. Jack Ferrell and Lucille Matheny portrayed the comedy character roles of Mr. and Mrs. Hard- castle, with Lem Higinbotham as Tony Lumpkin, the boisterous step-son. The numerous short character roles upon u ' hich so much of the plot as well as the comedy depended were played with an ability rare in college productions. David DuBois as Diggory and William Brown as Sir Charles Marlowe deserve particular mention. page 75 page 76 page 7 7 ;4ifr SCfma With the opening of the fall term, the Beta Nu Chapter of Alpha Sigma Phi moved into a newly purchased house at 26 Meade Street. This house was obtained last summer by several members who were attending summer school. During the first weeks of the term, improvements and remodeling were the chief activities of the boys liv- ing in the house. On October 9. the Alpha Sigs started their social season by sponsoring an all campus dance in the gymnasium. Dave Casto ' s orchestra furnished the music. Following this dance, the fellows spent all • the time they could spare pre- paring for Homecoming. October 29- 30. The hard work paid off when the fraternity won first prize in the parade contest for the best float. After the game on Saturday, open house was held for the alumni and friends of the fraternity. The Sadie Hawkins Day costume dance held November 13 in the Student Union was a gay affair. Only the lack of jugs of corn likker and loaded muskets kept the party from being an old time mountaineer dance. The big social event for the fraternity was the annual spring for- mal held at the Stonewall Jackson Ho- tel in Clarksburg April 1. All the brothers were at their best. Memories of the dance will last for years. The Alpha Sigs also took part in the big Inter-Fraternity dance held the last of April. This was the last dance for the fraternity members this year. Several stag parties were held throughout the year. Everyone anx- iously looked forward to these get- togethers, the last of which was held the last of May out in the country on the Buckhannon River. The pledge smoker was held this year in October. Brothers Witck and Courtney entertained the fellows with a jam session. 23 were pledged. 10 of whom were initiated as active mem- bers in February. The boys did not show much force on the intramural football field, but they bounced back with steamroller force on the basketball floor and won the class B championship. Only de- feat of the year came at the hands of the Married Men in the class A league in the playoff tournament. By the time spring arrived, love must have taken the fight from the brothers. The Softball team slipped back to the foot- ball standards. With the passing of a successful year. Beta Nu is looking forward to an even better year in ' 49 - ' 50.

The boys of Beta Chi Chapter of the Kappa Alpha Order. Wesleyan ' s oldest national fraternity, had a busy and eventful time during the school year 1948-49. Although hampered by the lack of a fraternity house, the chap- ter carried on a full social schedule from a temporary headquarters in the Upshur Building. Chapter rooms, along with a large ballroom, were rented in that building and served ade- quately as the setting for many social events during the year. Two memorable dances highlighted the KA year. The first of these was the Dixie Ball, a colorful costume affair held at the brilliantly decorated chap- ter rooms; and for one January day Beta Chi men seceded from the Union to display their true southern heritage and gentlemanliness. The other un- forgettable dance was the annual spring formal held at the Stonewall Jackson Hotel in Clarksburg on May 18. Sev- eral informal dances were also held during the year plus a May Day picnic and two stag smokers. Ten pledges joined the active KA ranks during the year. These were Lynn Lewis. Bill Stokum. Ray Stro- ther. Bill Brown. Dick Ashton, Henry Wolfe. Jan Cook. Tom Brereton. Bud Holby. and Bonn Channell. Officers elected to head the fraternity for the coming year are Bob Hermann, Number I : Bob Boyd. Number II : and Bill Gwennap, Number III. The re- tiring officers, who were in office most of the school year, were Ed Knight. I: and Dave Smith. III.

It was the sec- ond Greek fraternity to be established on Wesleyan ' s campus. It was very active until 1943 when it merged with what was then Alpha Kappa Pi but now is Alpha Sigma Phi. In 1947 it re-claimed its charter and has attained a membership of 37 members, 22 of whom were initiated in December. This fraternity exists in order that a group of Wesleyan men. possessing kindred interests, may be united with- in the bonds of fellowship for their mutual and individual benefits. The flower is the red carnation and the ofii- October 8. 1949. They are the last lo- cal fraternity on the campus to take this step. Members of Sigma Eta Delta have distinguished themselves in various ways in the past year. They have held class offices, been Community Council representatives, and members of vari- ous committees. Kenneth Lawton and James McKita were representatives on the Community Council, Keith Queen on the Awards and Fraternities Com- mittees, Bill Laughlin on the Attend- cnce Committee, Kenneth Lawton on the Cultural Enrichment Committee, and James Snyder served as Sports Editor of the Pharos.

The annual formal rush party in- cluded a progressive dinner and a trip to Heaven and Hell. Homecoming found the girls busily engaged preparing a Harem-Scare- em ' float. A tea for visiting alumnae and an act in the Wesleyantics were also part of the activities. Margaret Ann Cyphers was junior attendant to the Homecoming Queen. Later. Mar- garet Ann was attendant to the May Queen in the May Day activities. Other activities for the year included a hay ride, a pledge dance, a marsh- mallow roast, a Valentine Day Turn- about party for the girls and their dates. On March 20. 1949. Alpha Omi- cron celebrated its first birthday with a buffet supper and installation of new officers. The social season came to a climax with the annual spring formal which followed the theme of the silhouette. Other highlights of the season were the Achievement Dinner to honor those girls who were outstanding in schol- arship or activities, and the picnic which the new actives planned for their big sisters. Members of Alpha Gamma Delta on Wesleyan ' s campus have been very active this past year. Alda Wagner, president-elect, is secretary of the Wo- men ' s HjII Governing Board, a member of Haught Literary Society, and secre- tary-elect of the senior class. Betty Jo Hogsctt is secretary of Delta Psi Kappa, vice-president of the Women ' s Hall Governing Board, and past president of the fraternity.

On October 9. we took part in the Panhellenic Workshop. Mrs. Connie Oettmeier. province president, and Mrs. Aubrey Love, state membership chairman, were here for the oc- casion. On October 14. we gave a rush tea for all the freshmen girls at 68 College Avenue. Our rush party was held at the Buckhannon Country Club. The party was in the form of an informal evening with entertainment and dancing as the main attraction. Pledging took place at the home of Mrs. Ed- ward Reger. our sorority mother. Later in the month our pledges gave a tea for the Alpha Xi Delta pledges and the Alpha Gamma Delta pledges. The actives took their little sisters to a movie party. Gamma Kappa Chapter took part in Wesley- antics and entered a float in the Homecoming Parade. The theme was Miss Violet, who was Christine Shanaman attended by the pledges dressed in pastel evening gowns. The pledges threw paper shaped footballs with violets on them to the crowd as souvenirs. A gold loving cup was presented to our chapter in Assembly for winning second prize in the float contest. In November, the pledges gave the actives a dance at the Country Club. In December, we had a Christmas party. The highlight of the evening was when Betty Urback. stufl ed with pillows, played Santa Claus and gave out gifts. On March 12. we had our initiation of pledges at the home of Mrs. Edward Reger. The initia- tion was followed by a banquet at the Metho- dist Church, and on Sunday the girls attended church in a group. In April we gave our annual Black and White Diamond Formal at the Lion ' s Den. Invitations were extended to the sororities and fraternities and music was furnished by Dave Casto. We took part in the Inter-Fraternity Dance, and on April 1 7. we were entertained at the home of Marguerite Floyd. On Sunday. May 22. we were honored at a tea given by Mrs. E. J. Reger at her home. She was aided by Mrs. C. E. Fretwell and Mrs. T. W. Haught. Invitations were extended to the officers of the other sorori- ties on the campus. This ended a very eventful year for Gamma Kappa Chapter.

Most of the actual building of the scoreboard was done by the members of the club. At Homecoming the Phoenixers participated in all of the activities including the building of a float for the Homecoming parade. Just before the Christmas holidays, we en- couraged the seasonal spirit by the singing of carols at the college dormitories and at the homes of members of the faculty. Early in March we held a dance in the Lion ' s Den. open to all-comers. This dance was well attended and was a great success. After the election of new officers this spring, a banquet was held on the night of installation. This was attended by all of the members and their dates. At regular intervals during the year, stag parties were held for the members of the club. All of these activities were helpful in carrying out the purpose of the club which is to encourage friendship on the campus and among the mem- bers of the club. fiaqe 89 ( mmuacttf ( MKcii Row ONE; Biddy Ann Hogan. emoT Class Reprcsentalive and Secretary: Helen Cronin.

A large share of the work of the 1948-49 Community Council was devoted to the break- ing down of the barriers of the intellectual isolation which have long separated the Wes- leyan student from the thinking of his fellow students on other campuses. The Council ' s at- tention to this acute campus problem was di- rected through its membership and active par- ticipation in the work of the United States National Student Association and the West Virginia Federation of College Students. Wes- leyan leadership in West Virginia college- student affairs was acknowledged during the year with the Community Council president also serving as president of the Federation and as chairman of the constitutional convention of the West Virginia Region. U. S. National Student Association. It must be frankly admitted the Council achieved little success in this important aspect of its program; only a very small percentage of our students ever evinced any interest in the project: and these were largely those students already aware of what thinking students on other campuses are doing about current edu- cational, national, and world issues. It would seem the problem goes deeper than mere dis- interest — complete apathy toward extracurri- cular thought and work deadened the minds of a great majority of the student body to this facet of the work of the Council. Nevertheless, some little progress was made in breaking down this apathy, and it is hoped the 1949-50 Coun- cil will meet this problem with greater success. In fulfilling the more traditional duties of the student government organization, the Council was able to maintain the high standards set by its predecessors. Student cooperation was largely freely given to provide the campus community with the annual Homecoming and May Day festivities and a wide range of other social programs. page 90 ' 7ft in picat(4 Mtc St ROWON ' E; Joan Kendall.

The work of the Murmurmontis staff this past year did not get under way until after the Board of Trustees had appropriated $900.00 for the 1949 Murmurmontis during the Christ- mas holidays. 1 «- Charles M. Hymes Business Manager The fact that the book could not be made up and printed before the school year ended was recognized by the staff. The business manager and staff then began the task of raising neces- sary funds through ads and sales. With this under way, the editorial staff began its work the first of April. By the end of May the material was ready to be as- sembled. The months of June and July were required to complete this in order to have all ready for the printer by the first of August. The enormous undertaking of publishing a book of this nature was met head-on by the staff. It was only through the hard work of all staff mem- bers that the annual became a reality. Lyle H. Dunsmoor Editor page 9 1 Studeat TimoK (HmCCtcc The overall activities of the 1948-49 Student Union Committee were many and varied. For passing time on a dull Saturday evening. the committee provided movies — granted not first run but better than 7 shots from six-guns seen elsewhere in town. The charge for the movies was a nominal price in order to defray expenses. Occasionally, a double feature was shown or one feature and an amateur show with prizes for the best performers. The committee also sponsored 4 dances. 3 with name bands. The Homecoming dance, featuring Tommy Reed was a social success. The Christmas dance with music by Johnny Long was a financial disaster because of flash floods but again a social success. The May Day dance saw John Courtney and his orchestra furnishing the music. For the final and well worth the price, was the spring formal by Ray Anthony. There were periodic mixers under the direc- tion of Miss Nellie Wilson throughout the en- tire year. Also for the students, the committee has improved the facilities of the snack bar in the union with a new coffee urn. a sanitary sterilizer, fans, a new soda fountain, and many new dishes to tempt the palate. Even in sports the committee took an in- terest. Football and basketball trophies were given on behalf of the students to Charles Straight (football) and Carl Lyon (basket- ball ) for outstanding ability in their respective sports. Many activities, policies, politics, etc. were handled by the student representatives for the students benefit. So to a close. Student Union Committee 1948-49. t i to The West Virginia Wesleyan school paper. •The Wesleyan Pharos is published bi- monthly by the undergraduates of the college. The Pharos has attempted to be a publication of the students and by the students. The staff is composed of students who have a special interest in the field of journalism and desire to gain some practical experience. Throughout the year the Pharos has at- tempted to bring to the students, faculty, and friends of West Virginia Wesleyan College com- plete coverage of all news and worthwhile ac- tivities of the college and to help cultivate a constructive school spirit as well as to support the general objectives of the college. Looking back through the year of ' 48- ' 49 time was, perhaps, the chief opponent of our student publication. The deadline seemed to be on us before we had scarcely begun. There was never enough time to make up the dummy , write headlines, and do the many other varied tasks involved in getting out a publication. When each issue of the Pharos had finally gone to press, the staff breathed a sigh of relief and then started to work on the next issue. Ably supporting the editorial staff was the business staff. By selling advertising, super- vising circulation, and keeping track of the fi- nances of the Pharos, they enabled the editorial staff to put out bigger publications with more pictures and cartoons. Neither staff was com- pletely independent. Each needed the other and by working together each helped make the Pharos a successful publication. page 92 SEATED: Susie Young. Mary Hadjis. Mrs. Elhel N.

It is affiliated with the American Fed- eration of College Women, a national organi- zation for all interested women ' s athletic associ- ations, but is. in itself, a local group. The only requirement for membership is a fee paid at the beginning of each year. The money received in this way is used to finance the various activities of the year. The main purpose for the W.A.A. is to in- crease recreational opportunities for Wesleyan women. A woman must be a member of this or- ganization before she can receive a Woman ' s Athletic Award. Meetings, which include recreation and busi- ness, are held once a mo nth. Activities for 1948- 49 began with a council circle early in the fall. The next big event was the annual Christmas party to which approximately eighty-five gifts were brought to be distributed to poor children in Buckhannon. During the week, of the World Student Service Fund Drive, the W.A.A. plan- ned and conducted the closing part of this drive. This group had charge of the Intramural pro- gram for women and with the Music Depart- ment, sponsored the annual May Day program. The Women ' s Athletic Association was one of five campus organizations to participate in the Inter-Fraternity Sing which was held dur- ing May Day week-end. The final meeting of the year was a ham- burger fry held in the City Park at which time the officers for next year were elected. This group has a membership of over one hundred women and is sponsored by Miss Charlotte Kncpshicld. director of Ph ysical Edu- cation for Women. Deita i ' 7C. fi Organized in 1947. the Wesleyan Alpha Eta Chapter of this national honorary physical education fraternity for women is the first to be formed in West Virginia. Majors and minors in physical education who maintain a high schol- astic average are eligible for n.embership. For three years now. the Psi Kaps have sponsored the programs used during the intercollegiate basketball tournament as one of their major projects. This year the organization also checked coats during the regular basketball sea- son and for the tournament. Each year the chapter attempts to carry out some project which will be of benefit to the col- lege and to the students. Last year, a flagpole for the football field was installed and was formally presented to the school during this year ' s annual Homecoming Celebration. This year the Psi Kap project was the redecoration of Miss Knepshield ' s outside office into an at- tractive lounge to be used as a study room for students. The organization meets once a month, and this year two of their meetings were open to the public. The first was their Founder ' s Day Pro- gram held in Brown Chapel, and the second was a Professional meeting featuring Mr. Sammy Kistler. an outstanding Recreation Specialist in the state of West Virginia. On April 24. seven new members were formally initiated into the chapter. Following the initiation ceremony held in the gymnasium, the members enjoyed their annual Spring Ban- quet. In May. the officers for the new year were elected, and this meeting was an outdoor meet- ing held in the City Park. The Psi Kaps have had a very successful year, and the graduating seniors know that in the future the members will ever be striving to at- tain their goal of a Sound Mind and a Sound Body . page 95 CM tte ia%ef Sact Uf Haught Literary Society officially began its twenty-fourth year of activity on Tuesday, October 12. 1948. at which time Brown Chapel was again the scene of the Society ' s formal initiation of new members. The tra- ditional candle lighting service in the Chapel was followed by a reception in the home eco- nomics rooms. The organization ' s weekly programs, dur- ing the course of the year, displayed a variety of literary interests ranging from the very American Carl Sandburg to glimpses of Chi- nese poetry and prose. Among the guest speakers enjoyed during the season ' s activities were Dr. Lewis H. Chrisman and Mr. Charles R. Knapp. The month of February prompted thoughts of St. Valentine ' s Day and found the group assembled for a social evening at the home of Carol Jean Stalnaker. The year ' s procession of literary thought was climaxed with an informal spring recep- tion held at the College Avenue girls ' dormi- tory with Mrs. C. Edmund Neil. Dr. and Mrs. Thomas W. Haught. and Dr. Lewis H. Chrisman as honored guests. The evening ' s program included music by Patricia Albright and greetings by the guests of honor. The annual spring election of the Society was held on May 1 2 at which time Julia B. Cheng was elected to succeed Mildred L. Barckley as President of the organization, Carol Jean Stalnaker to succeed Dorothy Ellen Steinkraus as Vice President, and Bar- bara Hinshelwood to succeed Joan Frame as Secretary -Treasurer. Those of the Society among the graduat- ing seniors include Pat Albright. Mildred Barckley. Judy Conaway. Lena Flinn. Joan Frame. Barbara Guess. Mary Hadjis. Biddy Ann Hogan. and Jean Simpson. Sett(f im died This national organization is named for the Betty Lamp which was used by the housewives of pioneer days. As the lamp shed light then, this organization seeks to provide social and professional guidance for girls now. The club program is planned to present a pic- ture of the careers possible in home economics. A complete year of programs was planned which included Miss Anna Belle Dorsey, die- titian, and Miss Kay Headlee. a high school home economics teacher. Other speakers were a home demonstration agent, the home eco- nomics director of a utility company, and Wilma Leitao of Rio de Janeiro. Brazil ( a first semester student and member of the club) who spoke on home life in Brazil. A Province ' X orkshop was held in Pitts- burgh in November, and our representative was Alda Wagner who brought back some very valuable information and presented it to the club. She also served as representative and group leader at the West Virginia Home Eco- nomics Association Conference at Jackson ' s Mill in April. A highlight of the year was the Home- coming barbecue at which time the club girls served as hostesses. The May Day all-campus picnic was another event at which the girls rendered great service. Other functions on the campus such as banquets, teas, and receptions found the girls charming aids. The club is open for membership to majors and minors in home economics. page 96 SITTING: Joan Frame, Julia B. Cheng. Barbara Hinshelwood. Barbara Guess. Dorothy Steinkraus. Judy Conaway.

In its two short years of existence this fine aggregation of instrumental and vocal artists has gained wide repute throughout West Virginia and the surrounding states. Professor W. F. Pol- lard, Jr., the director of the organization, first conceived the possibility of organizing such a group in 1947, and, with the aid of a co- operative and understanding administration, the Society was brought into existence. From a humble beginning with a membership of seven to a polished concert ensemble of nearly three times that number, its develop- ment is mainly due to the efforts of Professor Pollard. Within its short lifetime, the group has traveled thousands of miles and has given many concerts. Its first concert was presented in Philippi High School where the Society received the first of many enthusiastic recep- tions. Soon afterwards, the artists embarked on the first of their annual tours and pre- sented concerts in Parkersburg. Wheeling, Moundsville. West Liberty, and Fairmont. This year numerous concerts have been pre- sented in high schools and churches through- out the state. During the month of March, the Society left Buckhannon for its second an- nual tour. This tour covered over fifteen hundred miles with performances given in Virginia as well as West Virginia. The Concert Art Society, realizing that fi- nancial circumstances do not always permit talented musicians to get college training, now offers a music scholarship to talented high school seniors who wish to receive their musical education at Wesleyan. The scholar- ship is worth the full instructional charge and is maintained from the proceeds of a series of Music Scholarship Concerts that are given at the college. e O fiAeMtcOK 2.ccaitet The widely known Orpheinian Quartet was organized in the Spring of 1948. Under the direction and supervision of Professor W. F. Pollard, Jr.. they developed a memorized repertoire of over 50 numbers selected from the classical to modern periods and varying from the serious to humorous moods. The Orphcinians presented concerts by them- selves, had their own weekly radio program, and on many occasions were featured guest performers for musical events throughout the State. As members of the Concert Art Society . they played a prominent and outstanding part in every program presented by that organiza- tion. In addition to performing as a quartet, each one was a fine soloist in his own right. On the Society ' s recent 1500 mile tour. Mr. James was tenor soloist for the sacred-secular concerts. Mr. Weigle was baritone soloist for the sacred concerts, and Mr. DuBois was tenor soloist for the secular concerts. Mr. Townsend played brilliantly on all programs as the fea- tured violin soloist. Although Mr. Woolford. accompanist, did not join the Orphians until this year, he quickly mastered the difficult accompaniments which as a background created the heavy, light, or humorous mood. He also accomp- anied the vocal soloists of the Quartet and appeared as piano soloist. Friends and followers of Wesleyan have hailed the Orpheinians as the best quartet in the history of the college. Professor Pollard attributed their fine success to musical ability, intelligence, and hard work. page 9 9 die The organization of the West Virginia Wes- leyan College Group Ministry inaugurated a novel type of service to the Church by student pastors, the first of its kind in Eastern United States. Through the support of the General and Conference Board of Missions, the West Vir- ginia Annual Conference established this new kind of ministry in September 1948. The churches selected for the innovation had been served in circuits of five or six churches, each circuit receiving the service of one minister. The approach made by the group ministry fea- tures additional service to every church regard- less of size. Ten students serve one church each: three students serve two churches each, thus giv- ing far more than twice as much actual service to every church. Many churches in the plan are now having regular weekly preaching services for the first time in their history. The Group Ministry emphasizes the advan- tages to be found in group work and coopera- tion. Weekly classes, without college credit, arc held to study t he program of the Church, the various methods of ministry and specific prob- lems arising in life situations. Travel is done in groups. All salary support is pooled and each student paid an equal share. Service is given ex- traordinary emphasis; a financial computation shows an hourly wage rate of approximately ten cents. The usual Sunday ' s work begins at 7:30 when ten board the Carryall : it ends at 11:30 p.m. or later. When the entire group has finished for the day, thirteen student pastors will have shared in 40 services, made 25 calls, and preached the gos- pel story to about 400 persons. The response on the part of the people has been extremely grati- fying. There has been a general increase in at- tendance at all services. Seven new youth groups have been organized and continue active. By Easter 36 new members had been received into the church, 28 of whom joined on Confession of Faith. Pi Sf n This was the second year for the Beta Chapter of Pi Epsilon Theta Philosophical Fraternity at Wesleyan. Membership in the fraternity is honorary, that is, based upon scholastic standing and certain requirements in the subjects of philosophy. The fraternity holds regular monthly meet- ings for discussion of philosophical topics and books representing special philosophical po- sitions. At other times it has some outstanding philosopher or teacher of philosophy to address the group. This group, and especially its hon- orary president, has been very instrumental in the formation of the Philosophical Society of the State of West Virginia, and during the current year. Dr. Franquiz has been president of that organization and Charles Thompson, secretary. One of the main purposes of this society is to stimulate interest for philosophy and academic subjects related to philosophy in the curricula of the colleges in the state. Two regular meet- ings of the state society are held each year, and Wesleyan has been well represented in both through Pi Epsilon Theta. The first meeting this year was held in Hunt- ington. West Virginia, on October 16-17. Dr. Brown read a paper. Is the Hegelian Absolute Personal? , and Dr. Franquiz gave a digest of Philosophy of Science to be published. Dr. Hupp took part on a symposium. The Demo- cratic Concept in the Economic Realm. and Charles Thompson on the student ' s panel. A Philosophical Defense of Democracy; A Demo- cratic Defense of Philosophy. The second meeting of the state society was held in Elkins. April 29-30 in conjunction with the West Vir- ginia Academy of Science. Again. Dr. Brown read a paper, The Problem of the Moral Argu- ment in Favor of the Existence of God. Dr. Hupp took part in the symposium. Education Toward a Democratic World Order and David DuBois on the student ' s panel. Religious Bases of Democratic Ideals. On May 11,1 949, initiation of new members and the annual Spring banquet was held. Dur- ing the banquet hour greetings from the college were expressed by President William J. Scar- borough, new officers were introduced, and keys presented to the new members. The main ad- dress of the evening was given by Dean A. A. Schoolcraft on the topic. Pessimism on Wind- leband. page ■ 100 Front row: James Weaver. Robert Horslman, Norman Allers. William Brown, Albert Tomer. Thomas Brcrcton. STANDING: Arnold Akers, Melvin Pritts, Mr. Sidney T.

We had our weekly meetings on Thurs day afternoon when we met for a period of reverent meditation and communion with God. At these meetings, we had the opportunity to listen to several excellent speakers who had been brought to Wesleyan for chapel services. and we prevailed upon them to bring us a mes- sage from their experiences. We have also had several social functions. Among our list of services there are those which were not recognized or realized even by us who had done them. One project, which had been recognized and which we had tried to carry out in response to the call and ideals of Christian service workers, was what we called our Weston Project. Every other week a group went to the West Virginia State Mental Hospital to hold religious services in the wards there. The staff told us that this aided them in their work as it seemed to comfort and quiet the patients. Although this organization is designed for pre ministerial and religious education students, we have several in our number who are inter- ested Christian students who like to help in our work. We are glad to have them and pray that their influence and ours may help to make this world a better place to live in.

This is a local fraternity on Wesleyan ' s campus and was founded in 1944. Its member- ship is limited to the food handlers working in Agnes Howard Hall. It is considered as an hon- orary organization whose purpose is to seek the best working conditions possible and to provide a social unit. Each year in May it is traditional to have a waiters ' banquet at which time the group gives some of the girls a chance to serve the waiters. The girls of Agnes Howard Hall truly appreci- ate this organization. Officers are: President, Bill Gwennap: Vice-President. Maurice Miller; Secretary.

Explorer Post 129. During the year this organization has been one of the most active of all student groups. With the opening of the college in September, returning members soon had the post on an ac- tive footing. An invitation to membership brought in a large group of hand picked mem- bers who contributed much to the post ' s success- ful year. For the first important event of the year, the post explored the depths of an unchartered cavern in Pocahontas County where they waded a knee-deep cave stream to the foot of a beauti- ful underground waterfall probably never be- fore seen at full flood. After playing host to the Central West Virginia Green Bar Conference in December. Post 129 participated in the Upshur District Senior Scout winter camp at the coun- cil ' s new camp site on the Middle Fork River. Later this winter they spent another week-end at the Upshur District Scout Operation Carr- Helmick camp. The climax of the year ' s activities came when the post turned host to their girl friends who had spent the year listening to the boys ' exploits and showed the ladies a wonderful time in a day of exploring and climbing at Blackwater Falls State Park and Seneca Rocks. Several of the girls managed the feat of reaching the top of Seneca Rocks. So ends this year ' s outdoor adventuring for Post 129. Officers are: Post Adviser. Frank D. Bcris- ford: Post Guide. Jack D. Dunkle: Assistant Post Guide. Jack Ferrell: Secretary, Warren Garner: Quartermaster. Charles Yost: Institu- tional Representative, John D. Shaver. pagt 103 p d The purpose of the Playshop is to create a more active and intelligent interest in college dramatics. Membership in the Playshop is not only a reward for work done but should also be evidence of a desire to be associated with those who are striving to press onward with the standard of the dramatic arts. Two major and two minor plays have been presented this year. The first major play was The Rock with Lem Higgenbotham. Jack Ferrell. Margaret Ann Cyphers. Jo Felton, and Ninette Borgese playing the main characters. Alex Villers and his committee made all the costumes and designed the scenery for this play. The annual commencement play was the classic comedy of Oliver Goldsmith. She Stoops to Conquer. Margaret Ann Cyphers, Lem Higgenbotham, Jack Ferrell, Raymond Moore, Phyllis Kohl, Lucille Matheny. and Fred Mul- neix had the main parts. Two one-act plays were student produced. They were Another Man ' s Place , and The Cuckoo ' s Nest. Mr. John Shaver, sponsor of the Playshop and speech professor, produced the two major plays in addition to a play, Brothers in Arms , which was taken on tour to several high schools. New members were taken into the Playshop in May. Officers are: President. Mary Hadjis: Vice- President, Barbara Guess: Secretary. Lucille Matheny: Treasurer, Bob Lindstedt: Adviser, Mr, John D. Shaver. Alpha Psi Omega was organized as an hon- orary dramatics fraternity for the purpose of providing an honor society for those doing a high standard of work in dramatics. It is not in- tended to take the place of the regular dramatic club, but students who meet the qualifications are rewarded by election to membership in the society. Alpha Rho Chapter has been active for many years in furthering dramatic efforts on the Wesleyan campus. Officers are: President. David DuBois: Vice- President. Lucille Matheny; Secretery. Barbara Guess: Sponsor, Harriet Whetsell. Pc ' Xaf T dta For more than a decade West Virginia Wes- leyan College has been the home of West Vir- ginia Alpha Chapter of Pi Kappa Delta Na- tional Honor Society in Debate. During the war, debate activities were suspended; but during the past two years. Bobcat Debaters have again as- sumed the role of ranking contenders for State Debate honors. Beginning this year, three mem- bers of last years chapter remained — Julia B. Cheng. George Brandli. and Margaret Rankin. Several debators became eligible during the de- bate season late in the spring, and their applica- tions to become members are being processed at this time. With an inexperienced team competing in their first debate tournament, Wesleyan was able to win four of their ten debates in the State Tournament and placed high in the standings among the n ine schools competing. The vic- tories were over West Virginia University, West Virginia Tech.. Glenville and West Liberty. Beside the appearance in the State Tournament, Wesleyan had a pair of home debates with Salem College and played host to Waynesburg in a pair of non-decision contests. Debators com- posing the inter-scholastic squad this year were; Bob Lisenky. Ted Hamilton. Charles Hymes. Eugene Ricketts, William Brown, and Robert Myers. page 104 Row ONI:, sitting: Betty Jo Jacobs. Nancy Smith. Corinna Hill man, Dat ' Anne Chilcote. Lucille Matheny, Margaret Ann Cyphers.

The purpose of the organization is to stimulate sound scholarship, to promote the dissemina- tion of scientific truth, and to promote bio- logical research. Bi-monthly meetings are held at which provisional members deliver reports on topics of biological interest. Besides this require- ment for entrance, the candidates for provisional membership must have satisfactory grades and character. In addition to the meetings, the group had time for social events. Two parties were held at the home of Dr. J. E. Judson. One was after the initiation of provisional members and the other before the Christmas vacation. Soon after the beginning of the fall term the renovation of the greenhouse was completed. Once again it is supplying the flowers for the administration offices of the college and speci- mens for histology and botany classes. Bill Truban did excellent work in supervising its care. On April 30 - May 1 Beta Mu Chapter was host to the Sub-Regional Conference of Tri- Beta. The high point of the conference was the formal opening of the Kelley-Hudkins-Young Museum, and the showing of a movie of his expidition to Africa by Dr. B. I. Hudkins. one of the contributors. The chapter was also active in campus activi- ties. Tri-Beta entered a float built around a large frog in a pond in the Homecoming parade. Dr. Judson ' s Vitamin Deficiency Pills took the spotlight in the Wesleyantics program as the biologists presented human examples of before and after. In May the initiation of the provisionals into full membership and election of officers for next year followed by a picnic near Spruce Falls marked the culmination of the activities for the year.

The Benzene Ring, an honorary society for those students who major or minor in chemistry and who maintain a sufficiently high scholastic average, has the distinction of being the oldest student organization on the campus. Organized in 1921. the Ring took for its principal aim the presentation of programs designed to be of an interesting and educational nature for the bene- fit of its members and the student body. In October 1948, the Ring sponsored the presentation of the Westinghouse Planned Lighting for Better See-ability demonstration for the student body and general public. In November, the Ring, featuring Don Simons, gave a public demonstration of explosives and pyrotechnics. It is hoped that these programs and those to come in the future will generate some interest in the physical sciences in general and in chemistry in particular. Officers are: President.

' Ti e t cn tHca aUe i ate ;4cacCe(it f. o Science This organization was newly organized this year on Wesleyan ' s campus. Any student inter- ested in any field of science is eligible for mem- bership in the Collegiate Academy of Science, a branch of the West Virginia Academy of Science. This year has been spent mainly in the work of organizing, constructing a local constitution, and orienting the organization to the campus. On April 28-29. the state meeting of the Acad- emy was held at Elkins on the campus of Davis and Elkins. and several representatives went from this chapter to the conference where three of the members submitted scientific papers. They were: Wilton Tenney. speaking on the Natural Bridge of West Virginia, known only to a few persons: James Dennis, speaking on Colloidal Chemistry: and Donald Simons whose topic was Picric Acid. During this week-end meeting, new officers were elected for the state, and Wilton Tenney became the new Vice-President. At this time Nancy Smith was chosen to serve on the state Constitution Committee. The charter for Wes- leyan ' s Academy was awarded during this meeting. The Wcsleyan Collegiate Academy of Science is new and off to a good start, and hopes are for it to be a bigger and better organization in the coming year. Officers are: President.

Because of a late start, there were only a few really worthwhile meetings to benefit those students interested in international affairs. One of the high spots during its brief period of operation was the sending of two members to Barboursville. Kentucky, representing the local club at the Tri-State Regional Conference. Some valuable information in regard to the internal structure of a regional conference was brought back to our club. This information may enable Wesleyan to hold the Regional Conference in Buckhannon year after next providing the school desires some additional publicity. In ad- dition, outlines of various addresses given at the conference were presented to our group. Next year, the group expects to start a full year of IRC programs. Anyone interested in in- ternational activities is urged to attend and take part. Officers are: President. Howard Brown: Vice- President. Charles L. Brown; Secretary-Trea- surer. Peggy Cross; Librarian. Mary Ellen Law- son: Faculty Advisor. Mr. Marvin Downey. The House Governing Board is composed of eight girls who are residents of the college dormitories. This year the house board gave a slumber party for the freshmen women as a part of the orientation program. In October, the annual Open House was held with everyone scurrying around to see that her room w ould pass the in- spection of all the visitors. In December, it was the Christmas party the night before Christmas vacation began with everyone singing carols and exchanging gifts. Each month there was a birthday party to honor those girls who have had birthdays. The dining room was decorated, and all the girls dressed up for dinner that night. In May. a special birthday dinner was held for those whose birthdays would fall during the summer months. Officers are; President. Judy Conaway: Vice- President. Betty Jo Hogsctt: Secretary.

The meetings of this organization were held on the third Wednesday of every month, and the programs were designed to help the members become better acquainted with the teaching pro- fession. Among the guest speakers for these meetings were: Mr. Horace Beeghley. Superin- tendent of Lewis County Schools; Miss Corma Mowery. who is affiliated with the State Edu- cation Association: and our own President. Dr. William J. Scarborough. Other meetings included a movie on the con- ditions of the school buildings throughout the state of West Virginia, and a night was given over to the practice teachers who spoke briefly of some of their experiences in teaching. At the final meeting, the nominating committee of the organization nominated Foster Starcher for the office of president for the coming school year. ;o« § 0 oo o, SITTING: Howard Brown.

One of the strongest features of the college, this group has been active for more than forty years. The annual choir tour gives a group of selected students an opportunity to sing be- fore audiences throughout West Virginia and the surrounding states. Choir membership is open to those successful aspirants in the try-outs held at the beginning of each school year. This year, the choir gave three major con- certs on the campus and sang two anthems at the Baccalaureate service. It appeared at four neighboring high schools for special concerts at different times during the year. The touring choir traveled through Maryland, Pennsylvania, and northeastern West Virginia this year ap- pearing in thirteen concerts at high schools and churches. The touring choir is composed of thirty-four members chosen by special audition from the seventy member regular choir. The choir meets regularly every Monday. Wednesday, and Friday afternoons and sings an anthem each Tuesday morning at the regular Chapel service. Officers are: President, Gladys Evans: Vice- President. John James: Secretary. Biddy Ann Hogan: Treasurer, David DuBois: Director, Professor Charles W, Forlines. T e lof M ( al(e 0%cAe4t a Under the direction of Professor C. Buell Agey. the West Virginia Wesleyan College Orchestra plays an important part in the musical life of the school. An able musician himself. Mr. Agey conducts a high standard of sym- phonic literature and emphasizes accuracy of execution and interpretative values. Activities of this organization vary from as- sembly programs to formal concerts. Through- out the year the orchestra gave performances in collaboration with choral and dramatic societies on the campus. The Christmas and Easter con- certs with the Wesleyan Choir are part of its main functions: also this versatile group ac- companied the annual May Day dances with lively folk tunes. At their final performances of the year — the 1949 Commencement Exercises — the Wesleyan Orchestra played a well-orches- trated processional, composed by their director, entitled March Religioso . Participation is open to all qualified students. The 1948-49 Wesleyan Band, under the di- rectorship of Professor C. Buell Agey. con- cluded, with a few numbers played during the Recognition Day Program, one of the most suc- cessful years in our band ' s history. The band swung into full speed at the beginning of foot- ball season and continued at a rapid pace until the graduation exercises thinned the ranks. The football season achievements were made possible by the hard work of our drum major. Jack Snyder, and the excellent cooperation of all the members. The band ' s trip to Waynesburg to play for the game and the Homecoming Cele- bration were the highlights of the year. The basketball team was also given excellent sup- port by the band this year. The band played two concerts which were very well received by the student body. On November 29. Mr. and Mrs. Agey gave a square dance party at the Student Union for members of the band and orchestra (more fun, more toes stepped on ) . All our successes and failures of this year are but building stones for next year ' s band. So keep your eyes on Wesleyan ' s band in the years ahead. page III ;4t detic page 112 113 AeenleacUn .

Saauita The 1948 football machine that Coach Cebe Ross presented won four games, lost four, and tied two. On the surface that doesn ' t seem to be such an imposing record, but to look at it closely, it isn ' t half bad. The Bobcats won over Glenville. Fairmont. Bethany, and Marietta. They lost to Duqucsne. West Liberty. Waynesburg. and Davis K Elkins. They tied Salem and Morris Harvey. Two of the teams that knocked off the Ross- men were known to be too much for the ' Cats to handle before the games started. Duquesne and the Waynesburg Yellow Jackets both handed the Bobcats hard defeats. However, both teams had squads three times the size of the Wesleyan squad, and the reserve strength proved too much. When West Liberty defeated the Bobcats. they were in the midst of a winning streak of three years which was not halted until their last game of the season. Davis K Elkins won over Wesleyan. but only after a game that produced several plays which caused quite a bit of argu- ment among players and fans. Of the two games that Wesleyan tied, the one with Salem was played with several of the first team sitting on the bench with injuries suffered in the Duquesne game the week before. Among them were Chuck Donley and Fran Milazzo. Wesleyan also was tied by Morris Harvey, but that wasn ' t too bad since the Golden Eagles went on to defeat West Liberty in their last game of the season to win the state conference crown. The opening game of the season found Wes- leyan traveling to Pittsburgh before school started to take on the Duquesne Dukes. At the pagi 116 end of the half the Dukes led by only 7-0. How- ever, the reserve strength of the larger school started to tell early in the second half, and they started to pull ahead. The Bobcats scored late in the game when Zaner Hinkle picked up a blocked punt and ran the 24 yards to paydirt. Joe Michael kicked the extra point. The second game of the season saw the Bob- cats playing the Salem Tigers in a night game in Clarksburg. Salem won a moral victory by hold- ing the Rossmen to a 1-1 tie. Both touchdowns were made in the first half. The second half was strictly a defensive game, most of it being played in the center of the field. Wesleyan won their first game of the season a week later when they played their first home game against the Glenville Pioneers. The score was 21-0. Charley Shepherd and Bill Moore paced the Cats to their first win in the backfield with Chuck Donley and John Mazzei the standi outs on the line. The next game saw West Liberty squeeze out a thrilling 14-6 triumph over the Bobcats. An intercepted pass near the end of the first half which led to a West Liberty touchdown seemed to break the backs of the Bobcats. The game saw Joe Michael miss his first extra point at- tempt of the year after completing his first five. The Fairmont game a week later might well be called John Mazzei night. The popular all-state end scored all three touchdowns. Twice he scored on end-around plays covering better than 30 yards each time. The other score came on a pass from Walt Pugh for 11 yards. The game was a thriller all the way with first one team and then the other leading. Wesleyan jumped off to a 6-0 lead: saw the Falcons take it 7-6. The Bobcats came back to make the score 13-6. only to have Fairmont take the lead again 14-13. However, the end-around play worked again near the end of the game to give the Bob- cats a well earned victory. The following week saw Wesleyan playing at Waynesburg in the Yellow Jackets Home- coming game. Wesleyan scored early in the first quarter, but the strength of the Waynesburg re- serves told the story as the Jackets won a 37-7 victory. Wesleyan next engaged Bethany in the an- nual Homecoming game on the Wesleyan field. A large crowd saw the Rossmen wait until the second half and then unleash a terrific attack and smother the Bisons with a 20-0 score. The Homecoming game was the last to be played by 1 3 seniors on the squad. Those who finished were John Mazzei, Bob Straight, Chuck Don- ley, Jack White. Paul Barbuto, Claude Crider, Bob Patterson, Joe Michael, Walt Pugh. Bill Moore. Chuck Crawford. Joe Witek. and Jim Andrews. The final home game of the season was played a week later when the ' Cats tied the Mor- ris Harvey eleven 0-0. The Bobcats were hampered in their attack by the absence of Charley Shepherd who was injured in the Bethany game. However, good defensive play by the line paced by Bob Straight. Chuck Don- ley, and Cal Forsythe kept the Golden Eagles from scoring. It was the first game since before the war that Wesleyan had failed to score. Wesleyan next turned to Parkersburg and routed the Marietta Pioneers 33-14 in a wild game. The battle was rough throughout, but the Rossmen were able to take it and dish it out. The final game of the season saw Wesleyan lose to Davis ! Elkins 1 3-7. The game was hard fought and with a break or two could have easily been won by the ' Cats. Several decisions by the officials were questioned by Coach Ross and the team, but of course they stood; and the game ended with the Bobcats on the Davis li Elkins 10-yard line just ready to score again. Individual records show that Joe Michael was the leading scorer for the team with his two touchdowns and 14 extra point kicks counting for 26 points. Charley Shepherd and Bill Moore followed closely behind with four touchdowns each for 24 points. John Mazzei had three touchdowns. Zaner Hinkle and Walt Pugh each had two. and Cal Forsythe and Clint Allman one each. Shepherd was the leading ground gainer in the state conference with 961 yards gained dur- ing the season. He averaged 4 7 10 yards per play. The team as a whole scored 128 points to their opponents 133. A rather successful season. page 117 odccatM an ctcf ' Tftea 1 — Paul Barbuto 2 — Charles Crawford 3 — Claude Crider 4 — Charles Donley 5 — John Mazzei 6 — Joe Michael 7 — Bill Moore 8 — Bob Patterson 9 — Walter Pugh 10 — Bob Straight 1 1 — Jack White 1 2 — Joe Witek 1 ? — Jim Andrews page 118 a ptCH m ;4ctca €! page 119 i94 .49 Seii.iiedciU -% ■- . 1 t _ !

Soupu tAncf Coach Cebc Ross saw his last basketball team end with a record of only 5 victories in 25 games. The team never seemed to get started. They would look like world beaters in practice but couldn ' t seem to go when game time came around. They were never beaten before a game how- ever and played some of their best ball against the better teams they met, such as Washington 8 Jefferson. Morris Harvey. Fairmont, and Davis H Elkins. Cebc himself said he had never worked with a better bunch of boys. and that he had never seen a team get such lousy breaks as this one did. Peter Pres Maravich will be the new head basketball coach next year, but four of this year ' s team will not be back. Carl and Jack Lyon, Bill Brown, and Jim Andrick will bo missing from t he orange and black five come next season. Eldon Mailing, a junior, led the team in scor- ing this year with 3 59 points. Carl Lyon with 274 and Bill Brown with 263 were next. Other high scorers were Charley Elkins with 191 points. Jack Campbell with 102. and Jim An- drick with 100 points even. The season opened with the Bobcats dropping their first five games to X ' cst Virginia Tech, Fairmont. Morris Harvey. Bethany, and ' Wash- ington t5 JeiTerson. Their loss to Washington 5 Jefferson was a tough one as they trailed by only three points at the end of the first half. The Proxies pulled away near the end of the game and the ' Cats had dropped another. (Continued on Page 122) pagt 121 (! acUcatui S z et zCi 7ftc Jim Andrick Bill Brown Carl Lyon John Lyon The Rossmen bounced back from these losses with vengeance on the night of January 7 when they handed Beckley an 80 to 57 whipping. It marked the most points a Wesleyan basketball team has scored in recent years. Their next game saw them losing a tough 82-66 game to Fairmont. In that one they trailed the Falcons by only two points at half- time but kept falling away through the re- mainder of the game. The Bobcats then lost to West Virginia Tech. Morris Harvey, Glenville. and Salem for their second five-game losing streak of the season. The Salem loss was a heart- breaking 66-65 decision. The following games saw them beat Shep- herd, then lost to Bethany in a hard-fought game: and then whipped Salem 73-56 in one of their best performances of the year. In that game they ran up a lead of 24-6 at the end of the first quarter. Davis { Elkins hung a 90-72 defeat on the ' Cats their next time out but left the floor know- ing that they had been in a real tussle. Wesleyan never led the Senators but kept right on their heels all the way. The ' Cats dropped games to Beckley and Alderson Broaddus before they handed West Liberty a 74-62 whipping at home on February 18. That game saw Harry Johnson team with Mailing and Brown to stop the Hilltoppers. It was in that game that Johnson earned his right as a starter. He had transferred to Wesleyan from Marshall at the start of the second semester. Glenville won over the Bobcats 86-79 in the next game. It was a free-scoring match with a total of 54 points scored by both teams in the first ten minutes of play. The second Davis 8 Elkins game saw the Bobcats stay with the Senators for the first quarter but then fall back. It was in this game that Jack Lyon injured his ankle for the second time this season. He was out for a couple of games but back by tournament time. The regular season was closed with the team losing to Waynesburg. Potomac State, and Alderson Broaddus. The Waynesburg loss came in the last 45 seconds: such was the luck of the team. The Bobcats won over Shepherd in the open- ing game of the tournament 67-50 but lost to the eventual winners Fairmont 93-64 to close out the season. Remember a couple of freshmen stars of this year, Charley Elkins and Jack Campbell, who may make the team world beaters next year. With a year ' s experience they should be much better next year, and Coach Maravich will have fewer sleepless nights than Coach Ross did this season. page 122 TH iAe 7 cu etf page 123 f949 Md z(i Row ONE: Guy Burnll, Bob Kcane, Joe Witek, Mervin Bergey, Robert Sulliv.in Robert Patterson, Eugene Patterson, Clinton Allman.

Paced by Bob Myers who hit an even .500 for the season, the 1949 Wesleyan baseball team broke even in 12 conference games losing their lone venture outside the conference to West Virginia University. The Wesleyan nine got off to a slow start losing their first three games, twice to Salem and once to West Virginia Tech. After scoring only seven runs in those three, the Bobcats broke out with a rash of base hits and trompled Potomac State 13-5 for their first win of the season. The next game found Fairmont whipping the ' Cats 16-6, but Myers and Company bounced back to hand Morris Harvey their first loss of the season, 10-5. The first game between Wesleyan and Glen- ville found the two teams going wild in the run department with 32 runs crossing the plate. The Bobcats were far in the lead winning 22-10. The West Virginia Tech game started a string of extra-inning battles. The Cats and Tech played 10 innings before the Rossmen bowed 8-5. Fairmont found Wesleyan a tough customer before winning 8-7 in the tenth. Wes- leyan finally won a 10 inning game when they tackled Concord. Bob Sullivan made his only hit of the year a good one when he tripled in the extra frame to score Walt Wise and later scored himself to win his own game 15-14. That one was the most wild and woolly game of the season. The second game with Glenville was the ex- act opposite of the first with Wesleyan winning a tight 6-3 decision. West Virginia then dumped the Bobcats 8-0. the only shutout of the season. The final game saw Wesleyan win a thrilling 2-1 game from Alderson Broaddus in 10 in- nings. It was the best pitchers battle of the sea- son with Lefty Sullivan doing the honors for the ' Cats. It was a fitting climax for a successful season for Wesleyan. Right behind Myers in the batting race was big Joe Witek who started slow but closed fast to end with a .444 average. Jim Andrick, Butch Burrill. and John Marchines had better than a .300 average. Myers. Witek. Clint Allman, Al Poling, and Chuck Donley were the home-run sluggers for the team with one each, Witek led in runs-bat- ted-in with 16. Myers had 15, Andrick 14. and Ab Takacs 10. Seniors who closed out their college baseball career this year were Witek. Andrick, Marchines. Takacs, Poling. Donley, Wise, Dartnall. and Bob Patterson. page 124 .-. r f - Sc nc4. o S ue «e4 Won 6 Lost TILD Wcsleyan 1 Salem 15 Weslcyan 5 Salem 11 Wcsleyan I W. Va.

At times during the season the games were as close and as hard fought as varsity football. At the end the Fresh- man Flashers were leading with the Phoenix Club close behind. With the weather becoming slightly adverse. the program turned to volley-ball. In the final game between the Dirty Socks and the Pan- handlers, the Dirty Socks, for the second straight time, won the championship. With this the team won the Intramural Volley -Ball Trophy. Trophies such as this one are given to any team or person winning a championship for two years while in college. After tucking volley-ball away, basketball reigned supreme. The fast and fighting Married Men. winners of the A league came out on top by defeating the Sigmates in the final game of a play off. The Alpha Sigs and Trojans came through to victory in the B and C leagues respectively. Spring and pleasant days except when it rained turned the program to Softball. The hard-hitting Barracks 4 men won the cham- pionship after defeating the Rajahs and then the Ruthians in the final game. In the individual intramural games Charles Crawford won the badminton tournament. In ping pong Keith Queen pulled to the top of the singles and Bill Hastings and Marvin Culpepper of the doubles. Robert McGinnity and John Marchines ruled the handball doubles. A large percentage of Wesleyan men partici- pated in the program whose success lay in the able direction of Mr. Reemsnyder and his cap- able assistants.

SOFTBALL CHAMPIONS Su Ptmci icf. Wesleyan women have completed another year of Intramural sports. The intramural pro- gram for women is carried on as a part of the activity of the Women ' s Athletic Association, but any student can participate whether she is a member of W. A. A. or not. During the school year 1948-1949. Intra- mural tournaments have been completed in field hockey, volley-ball, basketball, and Softball. After some rugged playing, the Juniors captured the field hockey tournament. Honors for the volley-ball champions went to Susie Young and her Sophomores. A freshmen team, starring Wilma Lietao. gave them a close race, but the Soph ' s, managed to come out on top. Basketball season rolled around, and here we found the Amazons, a freshman team cap- tained by Pat Crandall. defeating every team they met. including the hard-to-beat Seniors. Spring and pretty weather brought out the old Softball fans for the final tournament of the year, and here we found Helen Payne and a team of all-class girls defeating all-comers. Individual sports tournaments were spon- sored in ping-pong, tennis, badminton, and shuffleboard for both singles and doubles games. More than half of the women enrolled in the college participated in one or more of these ac- tivities, and all in all it proved to be a very suc- cessful year for Intramurals at Wesleyan. This program was supervised by Miss Knep- shield and was directed by Maxine Birckhead. student assistant in the physical education de- partment. page 127 ;4d(Aentc en M page 128 page 129 7 ccdt f William John Scarborough, Ptnidem (1946 .
